i was thinking about this the whole time i was watching the video, and i think the difference in this is the level of creativity and variability. "proper form" sounds to me like "how people want it done to look pretty" and one of the things i like about this is that everybody does it to their style. it's not usually perfect, it's more about showing what you can do/are trying.

[@marcusbondi]

Hey Barstarzz - GREAT STUFF! Thank you, from all bar brutes Australia, for taking the sport to the next level! When 's the next comp? We will be there brothers! Amazing inspiration - well done to all involved!

[@justinday1505]

love it. I'm 3 months into callisthenics and just wanna do it all the time and every place with a vertical bar - beam - wall etc. My sons call me a show-off. If you don't show-off in the park it ain't gonna happen. Inspired and motivated by all the great vids, thanks.

[@shaksta4]

Man you're so right.. im 16 years old, I started calisthenics just late last year, simply because I lacked resources for gym or weights and i realized how important health is, i've quit junk and started going hard on the bars

[@Gusstra]

I think the most important thing is that people enjoy that what they are doing... it doesnt matter if its considered sport or not... usually gymnasts do their thing at very young age with strict discipline but here you see people of all kind of ages probably doing calisthenics for just couple of years... I have no doubt about calisthenics bright future.

[@SaintSoldierN9]

Yes ofcourse, gymnasts are on a whoooole new level. You guys are elite. People think the bars in gymnasts bounce and help you but they are mistaken, they absorb energy making it harder to do certain things whilst protecting you from harsh impacts from flips etc

[@strengthproject]

Ahhhhh yeahhh! What a fun day

[@Shyzenth]

What sport... Gymnastic is ancient since old greece, this is just something coming back!

[@bburgos59]

These videos always make me want to workout! Keep them coming!!!

[@YungThrasha3]

That do in the wheel chair so strong he got half his legs to work again thats crazy most people are numb from the waist down he is from the knee down. Thats real strength BarStarzz Baby !

[@milkshakeCet33]

@OfficialBarstarzz Ya'll take HAM to another level and I be seeing your crew at southbeach. I haven't had time to fully dedicate but when i do, i wanna join the team!! You guys motivate the ish outa me. I believe there is nothing greater than calesthetics + bars. Ive been following you guys since Ed money been putting up Vids on youtube. #teamBarstarzz

[@dracovoid5302]

watching these guys is inspiring!! truly awesome

[@alphatwotango]

They, or anybody that works out like these guys and gals needs a big applause! The fellow in the wheel chair especially should be applauded, not to mention his being one hell of a motivator, especially for the procrastinators.

[@screwthenet]

This all looks so fun. Climbing and bar moves are a blast.

[@hatedtomotivated]

No Excuses!! Dude in the wheelchair killed it.

[@califas619]

Guy in the wheel chair..Much Respect.. Makes me want to go harder working out!!

[@boysquad321]

I knew that StrengthProject would be here :) This is an incredible video. Wish I was this good

[@MrMiguel8787]

Its just a figure of speech. Either way sweet video cant wait till these types of events to start popping up everywhere!!!

[@JeffJaze]

Great show, looking forward to the next one!

[@jerryyono7306]

I think it's pretty cool they are attempting to make their own art unique to them.

[@TheBeckyMc]

Great vid - couldn't take my eyes off it for a second!

[@vantro]

I actually do gymnastic work daily and it's a slow painstaking process, especially since I didn't grow up doing the stuff. My comment was a partial compliment, but one doesn't have to be an expert to see levers executed with poor scapular retraction, pull-ups without full ROM, and handstands with a bad line and without fully open shoulders. These movements become sustantially easier when not doing them correctly.

[@Jshect]

I have respect for these guys because this is all about just being in shape and not about having some gigantic muscles to show off. Honestly if some of these guys did these workouts only and did the bodybuilder diet of 30 grams of protein every 3 hours and supplements they would be twice as huge, but I respect that that is not what this is about. Guys I see at the gym that are 4 times as huge probably couldn't do any of these calisthenics

[@eon001]

Agree. I've got life long injuries due to trying to lift heavy weights. Going to stick to the bar and bodyweight exercises for the time being.

Joshua Rucker I want to hug such a strong man. YOU ARE AN EXAMPLE OF STRENGHT ! ! GOD BLESS YOU !

[@samsampson918]

Great shoot. I will organize this in NY THANK YOU!!!

[@TeamEmpireUSA]

Calisthenics is a great way to work out and get into shape =). It's fun, it's free, and it's a great way to get active! We try to inspire others to be fit, that's why we have public competitions. Our main goal is to cut out the excuse for people not getting into shape. By using our body weight as resistance, it gets rid of the need to buy expensive workout supplies. The two activities aren't the same. Gymnastics is a sport, but calisthenics is a movement. Don't kill the dream, execute it. =)

[@bryanshurtleff15]

Definetly inspired me to learn some calisthenics!!!!

[@Fjerid]

Exactly my point. Lets keep on doing Free-letics!

[@Jaay342]

you have to come to the fibo in germany this year that would be awesome!!!

[@c0wboys4life]

I had no idea this was a sport, makes wanna get into this type of stuff here

[@MrMiguel8787]

Calisthenics is just very simlar to gymnastics however Calisthenics takes gymnastics to a totally different level!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gynastics on STEROIDS = CALISTHENICS!!!! This video is awesome!!!!!!!! Much props to you guys!!!!

[@ods1ODS]

LOVE the dude in the wheelchair, inspiring as hell!!!

[@Omrie69]

[@M4joooJuniorr]

[@fernanditomdq1]

muy bueno el torneoo me gusto mucho el video, me hubiese gustado estar alli.. saludos

[@solarisalpha1]

I know that crew from Miami, haha, didn't know they competed. I always see them at the Miami Beach work out area and wondered why they trained so hard. Now I know. Repping Miami, big ups and respect to all of these athletes. Amazing feats of strength.

[@yungkenny]

The wheel chair dude got mad props from me. Keep it up yall. #calesthenics

[@paw101]

OfficialBarstarzz I have a quick question.I've had a problem with my shoulder since about 2009(Sports injury)yet physio and doctors have never been able to pinpoint the issue.After taking a break from sports and fitness(laziness!)my shoulder has not played up in at least6-9months now.Does the programme offer a slow introduction or is there some advice you can offer as to how I could minimise risk of reoccurance of injury?I know it's hard to say given you don't know injury specifics.Thank you!

[@Daltonator87]

Gymnasts are incredibly strong dude. I've been training with some that aren't even competing anymore, and pushups and pull-ups are incredibly easy to them... so much so that they don't actually train them, they train other skills that require much more strength (planche, iron cross, maltese, handstand pushups on rings)

[@Bucketheadcube]

at 00:42 = Harlem shake ?

[@ShaRealMuzik3]

Awesome! I want to be able to do this! the tracks had me freestylin' tho lol

[@DanyNMacF]

great to watch - hats off

[@OliverSalzburg]

What I especially like about seeing someone in a wheelchair participating in this contest is the fact that he's not forced to participate in the "special" calisthenics tournament. This is true integration.

[@FishOnRbx]

Incredible feats of strength…just wow!!!

[@spetoen74eedmimecelitos11]

nice i want this for me to look like this guys im 39 i going for it i will post my videos thanx to u bro this is a good motivation ans even the guy in the wheelshair is great

[@androx4music]

no matter what... calisthenics for life!

[@GabrielJakub]

respect for wheelchair dude ! You are my HERO ! greetings from Slovakia

[@Yoipi]

do you have a pull up bar at home? I also recommend checking out Scooby on youtube and P90X.

[@dsac6007]

We really are all part of an amazing species, I hope we make it.

[@justinim9389]

i had to rewind so many times it took me like an hour to watch the whole thing

[@spyderspic666]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!! the guy in the wheel chair is a fucking monster!!! he is about as inspirational as one can get!

[@StreetWorkoutLatvia]

Amazing video bro.

[@houssam707]

Ohh Myy GooD !!! this freaking insane :OOOOOO

[@sanatorium11]

I remember this video was uploaded previously but it had different music is that why it was taken down?

[@nurmansyakir4419]

[@Stephnewtron]

Purely amazing.

[@omnymisa]

So awesome!

[@arsh1369]

Do they use special gloves for this sport? If yes, what are they(like kind,brand name,and etc)? thx :)

[@cyderpress]

Brilliant Stuff! Cool wheelchair strength athlete!

[@OTOWN2STOCKTOWN]

The one in wheelchair? He has some serious arms. I utterly respect those who you would think couldn´t do this for the world but still excel in the discipline.

[@winbuma1]

Awesome vid

[@kojitator7546]

Great stuff.

[@Romieboxing]

good to see strength project there!

[@maks1navy]

как трек называется который начинается с 1:10 ????

[@Evilj82]

I feel like you are purposely trolling but let me give you my opinion using an analogy and a question from another sport: skateboarding. Is there not a difference between vert, park, street, downhill, and free style skating?

[@alexia1105]

yea.. four of us from the Miami Barstarzz team participated ( and two of us won the gold)

[@1Adrenoline1]

That guy in the wheel chair is fucking motivational! He's the guy who looks at challenges in life and says "you're my bitch now".

[@phulskamp]

Great job for the guys and girls Cool Video...

[@aq1q]

exactly! I was just about to say that when I realized your comment

[@kaktusovsok]

Who is the guy with the green shorts and the mohawk? he appears quite a few times in the video and looks pretty damn awesome.

[@ajasp26]

Hey Barstarzz, What is that dip called where the bar is behind the person?

[@jasonknisley2958]

such skill and motivation!

[@Rub3do22]

Whew, thanks for calming me I'm not too late starting at 16 year then. hahaha!

[@renen30]

gave me awesome motivaton to hit the Gym/Bar :) :P

[@Qlitysounds]

Any thoughts on calisthenics against the crossfit?

[@nabapoisu]

There is a difference and that difference is in attitude.

[@HarmonyOfElements]

It's different genres of training. It's like saying ''I want a calisthenic guy to deadlift 340 kg''. They develop different forms of strength and muscle fibers! It's not easy to lift huge weights and also be able to do an insane amount of reps in incredible bodily movement - Also bodybuilders usually have more body weight than a calisthenic guy - More weight = Harder, right ;)? I am currently trying to mix both of them and also including movement such as climbing. I'm 194 lbs though.

[@frankcastle7777]

Where are all the brothers from the street who rock the bar workout like super heroes?! They amaze me every time I see them. GIANT or Hannibal for King for example.

[@SpencerChuaWeiYe]

The guy with the wheel chair is doing his moves like "I have a wheel chair, SO FUCKING WHAT??"

[@irvin5623]

great video

[@dolak1919]

Love it!

[@RoyalCaoCao]

The beast doesn't join the show. The beast IS the show.

[@HazWasHere]

Was that the strength project crew at 1:25?

[@bartsomerson2099]

Do these people do regular weight training or just pure calisthenics to achieve their muscle and strength?

[@phlowjaxx]

this video is filled with potential action stars. they jus gotta take acting classes and BOOM!

[@kennybraun1]

would be interesting to see how the top gymnasts would fare in these competitions

[@jayjfortuna9981]

DaDaDaDamn I Love This Shit, I Need Some Tips And Training, Are There Gyms Anywhere In Canada?

[@lillhenke9478]

Seriously, respect to the guy at 4:36!

[@1ma4ighter]

[@arrozconpollo118]
